Lu Jun and the master weighed the official documents, the words were naturally extremely exquisite, the responsibility was not there, the credit was great, all the mistakes were that the elders were too merciful, so that countless Diao people made a fortune in various places, if the power to pay the wages to the Diao people could be handed over to them from the hands of those companies, these well-educated people could naturally be quiet, and those Diao people would take the money, wouldn't they make trouble everywhere.

As a Shandong person, he was born in a place where there are many scholars everywhere and the quota is insufficient, what kind of pain is that, he is not effective in the imperial examination, and finally has to take another path, that is, he has a big personality, but there is no official position, and those who cannot pass the imperial examination have a chance to advance.

This kind of opportunity looks good, but in fact it is extremely humiliating, they are all people who are mixed to the point that they can't go, and they are not a big official, Lu Jun is a native of Shen County, Shandong, but he went to Zhengzhou Mansion to be a small official, which is actually extremely humiliating, but he is patient and concentrates on management, and feels that it is wrong, and he can actually run away directly to Tianjin, and he is also a petty official.

Under the panic of the people, this kind of petty official is not worth much, and if he has money, he seized the opportunity to mix up the system of the Council of Elders, but it is not easy to go up, for people in this old system, the Council of Elders is the first to distrust it.

However, in their system, the promotion standard has become a calculation formula, how much is the people's livelihood and the first fart in the previous year, and what is the first fart in the next year, and the quantified promotion standard, although it cannot be operated in the dark, and there is no pleasing way to run forward, but it is also extremely good.

Originally, Lu Jun came to Tianjin, just to see that the place here is small, easy to run, the so-called small chaos to avoid the city, the big chaos to avoid the village, but I didn't expect that it was hand-picked as a key city in the northern port, and became the first place in the world to connect with the imperial capital to connect the railway, after learning the construction of a house with low difficulty in construction, cheap brick factories, a large number of cement, although it has not yet reached the point where it has not reached the point where it has taken over most of the world's cement production capacity in the 21st century, but it is still good to build a prototype of Tianjin Port.

Lu Jun was full of desire for promotion, he accepted the daughter of a small merchant family as a concubine in Tianjin, and the concubine helped him keep accounts and record the output of various oil and water, he knew that the local officials in the entire Hebei, if they considered their political achievements, did not have the official hat of the mayor of Tianjin Port because he had served early, and the only Tangshan that could compete was actually the elder himself who was in charge of everything, so naturally there was no competition.

Lu Jun had to send someone back to his hometown in Shandong to see if his ancestral tomb was smoking, and naturally there was Mr. Feng Shui, who took the opportunity to peddle a bunch of blessings, and in the future he was promoted to a big official, and the of being the prime minister also appeared.

In this case, Lu Jun naturally exerted his strength to cover up his possible mistakes, after all, he had been busy for a year, and accepting new things was painful for a person who had read dead books all his life, but it also brought negative effects.

However, the news that is slowly summarized is also a little wrong, after all, it is a foreigner's business, not a long time, the thirsty clerk and the woman who went to report the case were arrested and brought to justice, at least on the file handed in, the murderous crime is to deceive friends, friends were surprised, but still have to find a way to make the crime a death case, he has the heart to directly bend into a trick, get into the number and kill it directly, but how can I help, this Tianjin Port is trying out what kind of decentralization system the elders started, in the past, the lord of a county town, That is the master of the upper management of the sky, the lower management of the earth, and the middle of the air, but now he is a big steward, what kind of division, although he is usually also a subordinate relationship, but it is by no means a hand to cover the sky, but there is another group of people in the provincial government above for vertical management.

In other words, if he is on business, he will naturally be fine, but if he is really violating the law, he just can't help it.

"I think it can be done in this way, my lord, we are a special matter, after all, it is a foreigner, I remember, there was a big man before, said that now the Celestial Empire wants to attract investment, for foreign businessmen from afar, who do not know my Chinese law, they can be lenient, they said, this is called xxxx, of course, it seems to be just an application, the presbyterian council has not yet replied, however, we can follow the policy of xxxx, special affairs, hurry up to try this case, as long as the foreign adults are satisfied."

"Well, quickly bring those Diao people up, by the way, it seems that those clerks are all good and thirsty people, they always have to give face, don't beat them later, the main thing is to beat that prostitute."

"Adults are wise, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, the elder knows, and he must know that you are knowledgeable."

"Hey, it's a pity, the elders didn't stay in Tianjin for a long time, and they all took the train back to Beijing directly at night, and they didn't even have a chance to entertain."

"That is, in the Forbidden City, what kind of good things are not, when I arrive in Tianjin, I want to take the car back, but a few bowls of tea, think about it, it's really good, just like the propaganda poster said, thousands of miles of Jiangling in one day, I really want to take the car, go south to the south of the Yangtze River, Tiannan and Haibei to see."

Lu Jun suddenly sighed and said: "It's a pity, with this thing, it's not interesting to be an official, and if there is a little wind and grass, it will be transmitted to the imperial capital, forcing us to find a way overnight." ”

The master smiled and said, "It's easy to say, my lord, it's just a few **, what way do they have to find the elder?" In particular, the whereabouts of the elders are uncertain now, we don't know before we come to Tianjin, and there are a lot of people around us, and we don't know how many people want to go to the horse every day, or people who recommend themselves, how can they cry out for grievances, and the elders don't like to petition. ”

Lu Jun smiled and said: "A few days ago, I heard an interesting story, saying that there was an elder who was inspecting the imperial capital, and naturally there were crowds of onlookers and shouting, and the elder neither closed the streets, nor expelled the Diao people, but there was a Diao Min who kept shouting, he has a good way to save the world, once adopted, he can dominate the world, and everything will rest peacefully." ”

The master was taken aback and said, "There is such a person? If the elder uses him, won't it be a carp jumping over the dragon gate and soaring? ”

China has always had a higher consciousness of saying than doing, people who speak can always be nourished than people who do things, they don't have to do things, naturally they don't have to be responsible, once something happens, as a Confucian student, there are naturally ways to deny it, just like after the national football team loses, it has always been to find various reasons to shirk, what turf is too hard to play well, the turf is too soft to play well, all kinds of weather reasons, whether it is sunny or rainy, are not suitable to play, it is really not good, It's to blame the old man of the national football team who doesn't know English, or refuses to exercise the psoas muscles.

That is to say, as long as the elder uses the strategy of one person, even if the strategy fails, there is nothing to be done about this person, the reason is very simple, for other civil officials, no matter what their position is, how can there be a precedent for the emperor to kill the head if he makes a wrong idea, so what should they do?

All kinds of foul language will naturally come, the ability of the executor is not good, the character of the executor is not good, the investment is too little this time, there is corruption this time, the little sister who sells sweet potatoes on the street of the imperial capital is too ugly to affect the play, in short, what kind of reason do you want?

There have been countless experiences in history that the civilian clique has used its way of controlling the discourse to knock countless loyal ministers and good generals into the abyss, and it is necessary to maintain such a tradition only for personal gain.

In the history of the Ming Dynasty, the emperors have been changed repeatedly, and the little emperor has always been good at the beginning, handing over power to civil officials, the so-called Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty, this is this thing, almost every emperor is this trick, but each term basically in the later period, they began to distrust these civil officials, took back the power, and would rather hand it over to the eunuchs with a bad reputation.

Therefore, the master has this word, can be lucky enough, what he wants to say, in front of the authorities, to show his ambitions, can be described as the wish of life, once accepted, it is natural to have something in return, after all, you used other people's ideas, as for the problem afterwards, these literati have 10,000 ways to shirk it, in the craziest Song and Ming dynasties in history, there are often people who come up with ideas to add officials to the knights, and the people who go to implement these foolish strategies are dead, and even the directors of civil officials are fine, The strange thing about the military generals who obeyed the order to kill their heads.

Lu Jun smiled and said: "That person was also confused, and he actually used the strategy of the Tartars, and he was coaxed away on the spot, what a joke, these scholars." ”

"The Tartars' strategy? This is? ”

Lu Jun said: "Haven't you heard of it, the Liaodong rebel who was exterminated, once the yellow stewed chicken had an order, all the Ming rebel generals, what kind of official position, go to take refuge, what kind of official position will be granted, and if a small soldier is willing to take refuge, kill a Ming official, they will be crowned with the official position of the killed Ming official, for a time, the high-ranking officials in the north can be said to be everyone in danger." ”

When the master heard this, he was also surprised, and then smiled and said, "It is also right for the elder to ignore him." ”

"Yes," Lu Jun said, "what's the number one thing right now?" Many provinces in the south, do not know how to advance or retreat, resist the imperial capital, but the elders are kind-hearted, and they are still unwilling to send troops to conscript, if this strategy is used against them, the people's hearts will fluctuate, the adjutant in charge of defense, and the adjutant will guard against the soldiers, then it will be chaotic, didn't the elders send documents, the railway is an inch long, and the rule is an inch long. ”

The master nodded and said, "It's a pity, I'm old and I can't understand the new test questions, otherwise, I would have the heart to take the test." ”

The two were talking in the office, but they heard footsteps, and at the same time several officials brought people in, still very vicious: "Hurry up!" ”

These people are still frightened, after they ran out of the store, they went to the street, the crowd surged, the first thought was to find the official face of the person to settle down, naturally a hundred turns, and so on under the protection of the patrol, it was a little more relieved, but suddenly someone found the patrolman, muttered a few times, changed his face in a blink of an eye, arrested them, brought them here, rudely pushed along the way, and made several people panicked and messy.

Especially the girl, who was going to find her fellow villagers and go to the city to work today, waited for an hour in that bar, but was disturbed and physically and mentally exhausted, and at this time she was afraid and regretted, not only regretting that she should not leave the village, but also regretting that she had affected the good Samaritans in the store.

Dusty, disheveled, and withered, this is Lu Jun's impression of girls, thinking strange, such an ordinary appearance, dare to come out to cheat?

Forget it, who knows what kind of ghost tricks these Diao people have.

"Kneel down, let's say, how did you and the others deceive foreign businessmen, you have made it clear, and I will sentence you lightly!"

Lu Jun was red-faced, and the master naturally became white-faced, and said: "You people, don't know what's wrong, our adults interrogated you overnight, but to give you face, if you go to the prison in the imperial capital, hehe, it's all Jinyiwei's various torture services, don't cry when you see the coffin." ”

The clerks shouted at the time, gossiping.

"We're really working, it's the foreigner who is being rude."

"We also work for the elders, why are you bullying us so much."

"Yes, we want to see the elders, I have seen many elders, they are true and good people!"

When Lu Jun heard this, he said angrily: "You guys who sell oil cakes and soy milk, what are you, shut up for me!" ”

Having said that, for a Confucian student like Lu Jun, the dogs in the high-ranking officials' homes may be more noble than **, but these people are working in the shops opened by the elders, and the ghost knows if there will be a background, of course, just look at the present, I'm afraid that there will be no more, he naturally has a way, detain them early tomorrow morning, and replace them with other people in the store.

Having said that, there must be something big going on in the emperors these days, but few of them come to Tianjin.

"Okay, since you are also the house slaves of the elder's family, you usually have to be cautious in your words and deeds, by the way, do you have a way to pass the news to the elder?"

He thought in his heart, if they really have great powers, and even the path of the elders has been passed, then they still have to think about it, and they have to ask for warmth, and find a way to follow their path, if they take one, then they will be prosperous, but if they ......

A few clerks really had solid eyes, looked at each other and said: "I can't wait, on weekdays, the emperor teaches me how to cook, and then someone comes to manage the accounts and deliver the goods, I just need to sell it, when the elders come to eat, there is no one to follow, and they leave after eating, and they give money according to the price, but they rarely say anything to me." ”

In this case, Lu Jun is proud instead, and his waist is enough, elder, how can he notice such a few characters, wait until tomorrow, get them to other places, and I will find some people to replace them, then it will be done.
